For a while I have been hearing about home automation and basically upgrading things that you might consider to be basic with tech.

So what?

Last weeks (during the Amazon sale) I decided that it might be interesting to invest in some Philips hue bulbs.

For those who don’t know about these yet, they are bulbs that fit your sockets just like any other, but connect to your wifi. This allows you to control them. As a collective you can set them to dim different areas or change colour.

An example of why I am interested is if I am watching a film, I can press a button to change which lights dim, and what colour the remaining ones change too.

I will update this as I try to fit them/if I chose to link and more products in. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can improve on my setup or add to it, let me know in the comments.
